Apple lands most profitable quarter of 2021

Revenue up 21 percent and EPS up 35 percent to new all-time records.

Apple reported its largest-ever quarter when measured by revenue with $111.4 billion in Q4 revenue.

This is impressive! Apple Inc cornered nearly a quarter of the global smartphone market in the fourth quarter, making it the world’s biggest seller. I still remember the discussions of not too long ago when many pundits questioned Apple’s iPhone strategy and future potential. Well... I guess here’s the answer!
Mr. Andreas von der Heydt, Vice President Merchandising at Chewy says via LinkedIn.

Apple today announced that it now has more than 1 billion active iPhones worldwide, up from 900 million in 2019, and 1.65 billion total active devices.

Apple reported its highest-ever net profit in the holiday quarter as revenues swelled way beyond forecasts to $111.4bn on the back of a 57 per cent rise(!) in sales in Greater China.
Mr. Patrick McGee, San Francisco Correspondent at Financial Times.

Welcome to the super cycle: Apple just had the best quarter in the history of the smartphone.

Generative AI Could Cause 10 Billion iPhones’ Worth of E-Waste Per Year by 2030

Posted in News on Oct 29, 2024

As generative AI technology continues to advance at breakneck speed, researchers warn that the resulting e-waste could be staggering—potentially exceeding the equivalent of 10 billion discarded iPhones annually by 2030. A study by Cambridge University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences predicts that e-waste from AI could soar from approximately 2.6 thousand tons in 2023 to between 400 kilotons and 2.5 million tons in just a few years. This surge highlights the urgent need for proactive measures to manage electronic waste effectively, from implementing circular economy strategies to promoting sustainability in tech practices. The challenge is significant, but with collective action from industry leaders, policymakers, and consumers, we can mitigate the environmental impact of this rapidly evolving technology and pave the way for a greener future.
